Close & fund

Days after signing

We finalise the paperwork and issue the cheque — fast. Most rounds close within days of signing the term sheet.

Step 08

Beyond the cheque

After we invest

The term sheet is the start, not the finish. Here's what backing from VestedVC looks like in practice.

Hands-on from day one

Hiring, GTM, and fundraising strategy — your partner is one message away, not one board meeting a quarter.

A network that opens doors

Warm intros to customers, senior operators, and the follow-on investors who lead your next round.

$1M+ in founder perks

Cloud, GPU, and tooling credits from partners like AWS and NVIDIA — unlocked the day we invest.

Follow-on conviction

We reserve capital to keep backing you round after round, not just at the first cheque.

Process FAQ

The questions founders ask us most before they hit submit.

Do I need a warm introduction?

No. We read every cold pitch seriously — a warm intro won't move you up the queue.

What happens if you pass?

You'll hear from us either way, usually within 72 hours. A pass today isn't a pass forever — plenty of founders we've backed pitched us more than once.

Do you sign NDAs?

We don't sign NDAs before reviewing a pitch (industry standard), but your materials are seen only by our investment team. See our Pitch Terms for details.

Do you lead rounds?

Yes. We lead and co-invest from pre-seed to Series A, and we're comfortable writing the first cheque.

How much do you invest?

Between $100K and $10M depending on stage, with capital reserved for follow-on rounds.

Can I pitch before incorporating or launching?

Yes. If it's just you and a strong thesis, we still want to hear it — select “Just an idea” on the pitch form.
